Good Words From California.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,: l am ex-
tremely obliged for your kindness in
forwarding me the book on Dakota.
1 am doing all in my power to advocate
an interest in that beautiful country.
1 was there year ago last fall and
transacted some business with your
very worthy young real estate agent,
Mr.. Lee. and was there long enough to
love that country. l admired your
energy and push and the rapid devel-
opment of Mitchell and surrounding
country; and were it not for the i'll
health Of some of the members of my
family 1 could well afford to live
there. In my estimation the country
is awaking to the unlimited possibili-
ties of that fertile land. The papers
of the Pacific slope abound with quite
favorable expressions of Dakota, and
the report of the agricultural de-
partment concerning the crops as
compared with other states appears in
very significant manner. have had
frequent interrogations concerning
the country and in every case seek to
give plain, unvarnished, truthful de-
scription of the same.

The Democrats Carry Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 2.-The cleo
tion in Kentucky resulted as follows:
Buckner has carried the state by over
10000 majority, and the whole state
ticket has been elected by varying
majorities. Buckner ran ahead of his
ticket. The noted Phil. Thompson was
defeated for the legislature from Har-
rodsburg by III. Curry. republican
prohibition candidate. The democratic
detection is due to the presence Of the
prohibition ticket. The labor vote was
light. The election was the most quiet
and orderly ever held in Kentucky.

They Elnulated Jesse James

sEaUIN, Texas, Aug. 1.-Two young
men named Robinson and Brombly,
still in their teens, were arrested here
last week on a charge of robbery.
Brombly turned states evidence and
confessed that he, Robinson and a
man named Henry belonged to a band
OF robbers which had their headquar-
ters in cave near here. He said that
one day last May at the cave Robinson
shot Henry, who was the captain of
the band, through the head, killing
him instantly, and he helped Robinson
conceal the body in the cave. Brombly
conducted the officers to the cave and
they found the body as asserted and
various relics of marauding exped1-
tlons. Robinson is about II years old
and in explanation of the deed he says
he wanted to rival the record of Jesse
James.

A JUNE SONG.

The summer grass is growing, tho sweet June
winds arc blowing,
The dusky reaper yonder sings and binds his
sunburned shenves;
How sweet to lie half waking, dreamless, fretless,
care forsaking,
And watch with poet lovingness the blowing Of
the leaves.
Oh, the blowing of the leavesl
oh, the tossing, shifting green,
And the tender sky between,
That shows in azure glmpses through the blow.
ing of the leavesl
How sweet to lie unthinking, draughts Of balmy
perfume drinking
From opoponax and myrtle, where the wind its
magic weaves;
Sweet, by mellow sunlight ltten, to read the tune
unwritten
Borne inward to the spirit by the blowing of
the leavcsl
Oh, the blowing Of the leaves!
Oh, the laughing, dancing green,
And the great slow bird, half seen,
That scars the sunshine far above the blowing Of
the leavesi
Poets rest, dvnely luled by airy songs that
finely
Steal from rose sweet garden corners, or from
birds nests meath the caves;
ADreamer's peace, unsllaken by aught that might
awaken
The bitterness Of heart that lies outside tn
blowing of the leavesl
Oh, the blowing Of the leaves!
oh, the cloud OF happy green,
And the golden hearted sheen
That Sits and settles downward through the
blowing OF the leaves!

Hammered a Doctor.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, July 3l.-Dr. j..
C. Haller, prominent physician, was
so badly beaten last night by Lafayette
Dull, a farmer living ten miles south
of here, that it is very doubtful if he
will recover. The cause of the affair is
that Mrs. Dull died during the spring
while patient of the doctor, and Dull
imagines that it was for want of
proper care. After beating DR.. Haller
over the head with club, Dull escaped
to the woods and has not been seen
since. 1t has been noticed that his
mind was affected.

of Dakota upon an article relative to
the Yankton insane hospital affair,
published in the st. Paul Pioneer Press
of July 23d, over the name of Mr..
Bowen, of the Press and Dakotaian.
A reply by Auditor Ward in the Pio-
neer Press Of July Both will also at
tract comment. Mr.. Bowen desires to
explain that his article was written in
compliance with telegraphic request
from the Pioneer Press. Without this
explanation it might appear that he
was seeking an opportunity to defend
men who need no defense.

We notice in many of our state ex-
changes sneering remarks to the effect
that Wichita's boom has about played
out, and that the WINDY Wonder
will soon be place where fearful
retribution viii have to be paid for
OVERRIDING things. Now, this is the
sheerest nonsense. Not only is it nom
sense, but it is the rankest kind Of trea-
son and foolishness, not only to the
state of Kansas, but to every little
hamlet and village in the entire state.
Should these unkind and ungenerous
remarks become fulfilled in the
future, the very men who make
them would be the first to
sorrow over the calamity, for,
combat it who will, misfortune to the
thriving, go-ahead, magnificent city of
Wichita would be misfortune to the
state at large, and would more or less
affect every other city within our Dor
ders. Therefore, we say boom Wich-
ita, as we'll as our own dear city of En-
poria, and let us see OF hear no more
sneering or unkind filings at any of our
growing cities, for dispariagment of
one is an insult and injury to all. at

be united on the one
point that there is no other such a

the state of Kansas, and that every
city within her borders is enjoying the
biggist kind of big boom. At the

better prospects, better climate, better

regard to these balloons which occurred
in 1874 at Chester. There was a large
crowd on the grounds, and man we
called Big Smith was inside the bag
while it was being infiated. AT last the
balloon bulged ont, nearly full, and

standing near him. Before any one

When the balloon was first skipping

There seems to be but little concern
manifested as to the result of the rail-
road bond election on Friday next, a
great majority of our people seemingly
being satisfied with the certainty that
the propositions are sure of carry
ing
This is not as it should be. There
are people in the county of Lyon who
are thoroughly imbued with the idea
that these bond propositions are not
for the best good of our county, and
who will oppose and work against
their carrying.
1t therefore behooves all those
who have the good of the city
and county at heart to be up
up and doing. Let every effort
be put forth 20 see that by negligence
and carelessness we do not allow this
great prospect for prosperity to pass
by us.
In this city especially should an
effort be put forth to see that every
voter registered does his duty by cast
ing his ballot for the bonds.
1t probably will be the turning point
of our future greatness and prosperity,
or, if defeated, set back into the old
grooves of dizziness and inactivity, with
an almost certainty of our being left
behind in the great race now going on
in Kansas for an increase in popula-
ton, wealth and building up Of towns
and cities.
Let every man do his duty on Friday
next and Emporia and Lyon county
will take such leap for the better as
will put us in the front rank among
our many rivals.
